The Extraordinary General Meeting of Kungsleden AB (publ) (”Kungsleden” or the “Company”) was held today. The Extraordinary General Meeting resolved to approve the Board of Directors’ decision on a rights issue with preferential rights for existing shareholders.
The rights issue terms in brief
Under the terms of the rights issue each existing ordinary share held on the record date 8 March 2017, entitles to one (1) subscription right, and five (5) subscription rights entitle to subscription for one (1) new ordinary share. The subscription price is SEK 45 per share which, at full subscription, will result in a total issue size of approximately SEK 1,638 million before issue costs. The subscription period will run 10–24 March 2017.
At full subscription, the number of shares will increase from 182,002,752 to 218,403,302 ordinary shares and the share capital will increase from SEK 75,834,480 to SEK 91,001,375.83.
The main purpose of the rights issue is to strengthen Kungsleden’s balance sheet and enable further profitable growth with financial discipline.
As previously announced, Gösta Welandson and Olle Florén, both with companies, and BNP Paribas Investment Partners have undertaken to subscribe for approximately 20.9 per cent of the rights issue. The remaining portion of the rights issue is underwritten by Gösta Welandson with companies. In addition, Alfred Berg, who represents 1.4 per cent of the shares in Kungsleden, has expressed its intention to subscribe for its pro rata share of the issue
For further information on the rights issue please refer to previous press releases published on 2 February 2017 and 1 March 2017. Further information on the rights issue will also be included in the prospectus which is expected to be published on 9 March 2017.
